Well said "Rev. Ev"! That's what I've been trying to say. (Forgive me, words I wish to say and words that come out don't always coinside)

All the people, lemme hear you give a holler:
IN GOD WE TRUST! IN GOD WE TRUST!
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar.
IN GOD WE TRUST! IN GOD WE TRUST!

Good point, Q.  And thanks. 
"The poor we will always have with us...Matt. 26:11. (Jesus said it - not me) 
Some people will never have what we call "church clothes."  I don't care who comes to church, rich, poor or in between, I am glad for them to come.  Alcoholics, bums and prostitutes have visited our services and we welcomed them with open arms and love.  They did not smell good, look good and were not always dressed well but we loved them and welcomed them and it made a difference in their lives.  One old guy was a regular...Old Ben...bless his heart.  He was drunk, poor but he loved to come and we made sure he knew he was welcome - every time!  (he died recently)  So we cannot make clothes an issue - it is the heart that matters to God.   I look for God to change the hearts and mindsets of people...the word and the work of the Holy Spirit does that.  Our job is to win souls to Christ and the change within will become evident on the outside.  

God bless you abundantly today and always!

"Rev. Ev"
